ut bacteria can lurk right inside the oven door, as well as in the refrigerator and other appliances, and they would undoubtedly end up contaminating the kitchen towel as well. This is because very few people wash their hands before opening the oven door, thus encouraging the proliferation of all kinds of germs.
And are you sure you want to use a contaminated kitchen towel? The next time you’re about to hang it in the oven, remember the risk you could be taking, especially in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. But let’s now look at how to care for your kitchen towels to keep them clean and disinfected.
First of all, it’s important to note that simply washing your hands isn’t enough to clean your kitchen towels properly, as it won’t kill any bacteria present. Therefore, the best thing you can do is put them in the washing machine and set a 90°C cycle. Additionally, for an even better result, you can also add a little baking soda to the drum, which will help with the toughest stains.
